TransPERineal Fusion Biopsy Versus transrECTal

Efficacy and Safety of Prostate Biopsies by Transperineal Versus Transrectal Route: Randomized Study

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of 2 types of prostatic biopsies: transperineal biopsy versus transrectal biopsy.

Interventional, comparative, randomized, controlled study in 2 parallel groups, open-label, longitudinal, multicenter, aimed at demonstrating the non-inferiority of targeted transperineal biopsies compared to targeted transrectal biopsies in terms of diagnostic efficiency.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient having had a multiparametric prostatic MRI with the realization of 3 sequences (T2, diffusion, perfusion) interpreted by a local referent radiologist in prostate MRI or whose PI-RADS score is confirmed by rereading by a local referent radiologist in prostate MRI in case prostate MRI performed outside the center;
• Patient with at least one PI-RADS 4-5 lesion on MRI;
• Patient eligible for prostate, transperineal and transrectal biopsies, targeted and systematized;
• Patient with negative pre-biopsy antibacteriological urine examination ;
• Patient with prostate specific antigen (PSA) level ≤ 20 ng / mL;
• Patient capable of understanding the information related to the study, answering questionnaires in French, reading the instructions and having expressed their consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient who has already had a prostate biopsy;
• Patient with stage ≥ cT3a prostate cancer according to TNM classification version 8
• Patient with negative MRI or whose lesions have a PI-RADS score <4;
• Patient with impassable rectal stenosis;
• Patient with a dermatological disease preventing perineal access;
• Patient with rectal amputation;
• Patient presenting with a urinary tract infection;
• Patient on anticoagulant treatment at an effective oral dose, not relayed;
• Patient participating in another clinical trial, or in a period of exclusion from another clinical trial
